1. Leodis McKelvin, 5-11 190, Troy
A quick cover man and return specialist, McKelvin flashed his talent with huge performances in Senior Bowl practices. He followed that up with a strong overall workout at the NFL Combine, which guarantees an early selection.

3. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, 6-1, 185, Tennessee State
This athletic senior corner has been a shutdown cover man who came up big during Senior Bowl week - both in practices and in the game. His Combine workout was simply outstanding, and he may be the first corner off the board in April.

2. Mike Jenkins, 5-11, 200, South Florida
This big, athletic corner finished an impressive season and postseason with a strong effort at the NFL Combine. He ranks near the top at this vital position.

4. Antoine Cason, 6-0, 182, Arizona
This rugged senior corner has well-developed coverage and ball skills. He faced critical questions about his speed at the NFL Combine, but he silenced many doubters with his performance in Indianapolis.

5. * Brandon Flowers, 5-10, 190, Virginia Tech
Flowers is a quick, tough junior corner who displays fine coverage skills and technique. He has the playmaking ability to battle the best receivers. He ran an ordinary time in Indy and needs a big pro day March 27 to move up further.

6. *Reggie Smith, 6-0, 190, Oklahoma
Smith is an athletic junior cornerback who has fine triangle numbers (height, weight and speed). Smith has the ability to develop into a shutdown pro defender.

7. * Aqib Talib, 6-1, 180, Kansas
Talib is a gambling junior corner and playmaker with the talent to become an NFL shutdown cover man. He has the skills scouts love in a prospect.

8. Pat Lee, 6-0, 200, Auburn
Lee, a fast senior defender, has the athletic package to become a fine pro. He had a big final season that carried over to the Senior Bowl.

9. * Justin King, 5-11, 186, Penn St.
King is an agile junior cornerback who has a fine athletic package for the position. He solidified an early grade this postseason with a great NFL Combine effort that may even move him into the top 40 rankings.

10. Tracy Porter, 5-11, 185, Indiana
An athletic senior cornerback, Porter performed well in coverage over his career and lit it up at the Combine to earn an early selection in April.

11. Charles Godfrey, 6-0, 205, Iowa
This senior corner from the Big Ten had a solid career vs. NFL caliber receivers. Godfrey had a good week in Mobile that solidified a top-100 grade at this point.

12. Terrell Thomas, 6-1, 200, USC
This veteran cornerback impressed against top receivers in the Senior Bowl to elevate his rating after an average and inconsistent final season.
